My Knight in Crinkled Tin

I got my inspiration for this piece after my first heartbreak that recently happened :P
Hope you guys like it!
I am new at poetry, so please tell me if the flow is off because of how I spaced out the words! Thanks! :):):);)

My Knight in Crinkled Tin

My Knight in grand old Shining armor Turned out To actually be wearing Crinkled tin.

He’s not a knight actually. He can’t be, what with his Horse being so unwashed from all the Lies he smeared on it’s once gorgeous brown coat, His broken code of chivalry, And his too-small helmet that fit perfectly before his Head got too big.

The only knightly thing About him Is his sharp Sword. The sword he used to Slice and Dice my heart Into tiny pieces.

I really like this(: The way you described him as being a knight, but not really, is brilliant! My only critique is that your spacing is a little off maybe, but I know that sometimes it changes when it's published.
